Symptoms of Hodgkin's Disease Other symptoms of Hodgkin's disease can include malaise, loss of appetite, weight loss, fever, itching, fatigue, weakness, and night sweats.There also may be shortness of breath and a cough. A complication of Hodgkin's disease is anemia, a low number of red blood cells.ymptoms of Hodgkin's Disease: Introduction. Symptoms of Hodgkin's disease can vary among individuals and differ depending on the stage of advancement of the disease. Symptoms include a swollen lymph gland or glands, (lymphadenopathy), which often appear fist in the neck, groin, or armpit.

- Both of these malignancies may cause similar symptoms, but the conditions themselves are different. The distinction between Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is made upon examination of the cancer cells (from a biopsy or aspiration of the tumor tissue). The type of abnormal cells identified in the sample determines whether a lymphoma is classified as Hodgkin's disease or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

- Hodgkin’s disease is a type of lymphoma, a cancer that starts in immune cells of the lymphatic system, which includes the lymph nodes, lymph vessels, lymphatic fluid, tonsils, thymus, spleen, and lymphoid tissue of the digestive tract.he cause of Hodgkin’s disease is not known, but infection with certain viruses seems to increase the risk of developing it, as does having a weakened immune system. Having a family history of Hodgkin’s disease also seems to increase the risk.

- It's not clear what causes Hodgkin's lymphoma. Doctors know that most Hodgkin's lymphoma occurs when an infection-fighting cell called a B cell develops a mutation in its DNA. The mutation tells the cells to divide rapidly and to continue living when a healthy cell would die.lassical Hodgkin's lymphoma is the more common type of this disease. It can be broken down further into subtypes. People diagnosed with classical Hodgkin's lymphoma have large, abnormal cells called Reed-Sternberg cells in their lymph nodes.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma Hodgkin lymphoma, also called Hodgkin disease, is a cancer of the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system forms part of the immune system. It contains specialised white blood cells called lymphocytes that help protect the body from infection and disease.

Cause of Hodgkin's Disease Cause of Hodgkin's Disease. Researchers have yet to find the exact cause of Hodgkin's disease; however, scientists have identified certain risk factors for the disease. A risk factor for the cancer is not a cause of Hodgkin's disease; a risk factor increases the chances of developing the disease. Risk factors for Hodgkin's disease include being male, having a family history of Hodgkin's disease, and being infected with the Epstein-Barr virus.

Lymphoma Hodgkin's disease is a type of lymphoma, a general name for a group of cancers of the blood that originate in the lymph glands. The lymph glands are organs of the immune system and are a part of the body's defense against infection and disease. Lymph glands are located throughout the body.

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Overview A person with non-Hodgkin lymphoma has abnormal cells in the lymph nodes or spleen that multiply out of control. These cells can form tumors and spread to other parts of the body. The two main types of lymphoma are Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The exact cause for non-Hodgkin lymphoma is unknown, but gene abnormalities and viral infection may play a role. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is rare in those under 50 years of age. Roughly 90% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas are a B cell lymphoma.

- Non-Hodgkin lymphoma symptoms. Some common non-Hodgkin lymphoma symptoms include: 1  Fever. 2  Swelling in the lymph nodes in the neck, underarms, groin. 3  Night sweats (often soaking the sheets) and/or chills. 4  Persistent fatigue, lethargy, feeling of tiredness. 5  Loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting.

Symptoms of Blood Disorders Blood disorders can cause various symptoms in almost any area of the body. Most commonly, symptoms are caused by decreases in the blood components. Decreased red blood cells and hemoglobin can cause symptoms of anemia, such as fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath (see Overview of Anemia). Decreased white blood cells or immune system proteins can cause recurrent fever and infections (see Fever in Adults).

Understanding Hodgkin Lymphoma -- the Basics What Causes Hodgkin Lymphoma? Viruses: The Epstein-Barr virus, the same virus that causes infectious mononucleosis (mono), has been implicated as a cause of Hodgkin lymphoma. The presence of the genome of this virus is seen in 20%-80% of Hodgkin lymphoma tumors.

What is the difference between Hodgkin's Lymphoma and Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma? Best Answer: Hodgkin's Disease and Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma are both cancers of the lymphocytes and lymphatic system. They are therefore pretty closely related and their symptoms tend to be very similar. Some differences: Hodgkin's Disease is characterized by a certain kind of cell called a Reed-Sternberg Cell.

- Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Hodgkin's lymphoma is a cancer that begins in part of the immune system (the lymph system). White blood cells called lymphocytes can become abnormal or increase in number and grow without control. They may form lumps of tissue called tumors, usually in the lymph nodes of the neck, armpits, or chest.

Overview Doctors aren't sure what causes non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma occurs when your body produces too many abnormal lymphocytes — a type of white blood cell. Normally, lymphocytes go through a predictable life cycle. Old lymphocytes die, and your body creates new ones to replace them.

Signs and Symptoms Signs and Symptoms. The most common early sign of Hodgkin lymphoma is painless swelling (enlargement) of one or more lymph nodes. Most people have affected lymph nodes in the upper part of their body, usually the neck or upper chest. Sometimes you can feel the affected lymph node(s) in your armpit, stomach area or groin. In addition to swollen lymph nodes, other signs and symptoms of Hodgkin lymphoma may include: Fever without an obvious cause.
